"Ribelle was designed by the renown naval architect Malcolm McKeon whose portfolio includes more than 200 sailing and power boats. McKeon has an eye for perfection and that perfection comes through loud and clear on this 32.5 meters (106 feet) fractional rigged sloop.

From the plumb bow all the way aft the lines are clean and pleasing disrupted only by a unique reverse chine which breaks up the freeboard and extends the perception of length. While the hull is striking the most visually appealing aspect of the yacht is the low slung cabin top which features an extraordinary glass canopy composed of compound curves and carbon fiber frames. The design team has taken the idea of bringing the outside into the interior to a new level, and the effect is stunning both from a visual aspect as well as brightening up the already well-lit interior."
